Proverbes 6:22 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:22

When thou goest, it shall lead thee
The law of God taught by parents; this directs man in the path of duty and business of life; teaches him what way to shun, and which to walk in; it leads out of the paths of sin, and into the way in which he should go, which is most conducive to his good, and to the glory of God; it will lead him safely, so that he shall not stumble, ( Proverbs 3:3 ) ; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
from terrifying dreams, evil spirits, dangers by fire or thieves; one that observes it conscientiously may lie down and sleep, secure of the guardianship of divine Providence, and not fear any evil; or "shall watch over thee"

22 Quand tu marcheras, ils te conduiront; quand tu te coucheras, ils te garderont; quand tu te réveilleras, ils te parleront.

23 Car le commandement est une lampe, l'enseignement est une lumière, et les corrections propres à instruire sont le chemin de la vie.

24 Pour te garder de la femme corrompue, et de la langue flatteuse d'une étrangère,
